More weeks passed and now, only 4 months were left before the faceoff that was announced by the dwarven council. And even the imperial clan and the church of hetrax also helped the news spread across the entire empire.
Now, this issue between two saint blacksmiths was turned into political warfare.
One side who supported and allied themselves with Tawerik was trying to make it as if Throk was the one in the wrong.
But on the other side, Throk had the support of both Imperial heirs and the church so they vilified the other side even more. Everyone who worked with them naturally took the stand on the latter's side.
Meanwhile, the Dwarven Council and the Imperial Clan were taking the neutral stand and acted as a mediator since they couldn't get directly associated with either side otherwise it would create problems for them no matter who won or lost.
